V. Barone et M. Genovese, HEAVY QUARKS IN CHARGED-CURRENT DEEP-INELASTIC SCATTERING - A SYSTEMATIC PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY, Physics letters. Section B, 379(1-4), 1996, pp. 233-238
We present a systematic QCD analysis of the strange-charm and bottom-t
op contributions to transverse and longitudinal structure functions in
charged-current deep inelastic scattering, Various O(alpha(s)(1)) sch
emes are studied and compared. The dependence of their predictions on
the factorization scale mu(2) is investigated. The theoretical uncerta
inties resulting from the choice of the scheme and of mu(2) are estima
ted.
